Phil and Wally also play together as "Wally and Me", and Phil with Shelly Lulov and Tom Scerbo is one of The Society Boys. Those are their better halves in the background: the two Vals who accompanied them onstage at Buckeye as the 'Valtones' playing chromatic and chord (they looked stunning in red gowns) and acquitted themselves very well indeed.
..and that's Charles Spranklin (with an 'n') a/k/a "Mr. Smooth" (and one of Leighton's Leightons) :)
The name of the great chromatic player is Phil Caltabellotta,who along with Wally and George Miklas,the bass player are members of a newly formed group,"The HARP beats". Phil and Wally are playing "That's All" while having fun at SPAH. George Miklas, was not there at that time. They will be featured at the 2008 Rocky Mountain Harmonica Festival in Colorado which takes place from Oct.23-25While the guys are playing it seems like P.T. Gazell is really digging the whole scene!
Hmmmm....well The Sgro Brothers and The Hotshots have the musical gloves routine, are you suggesting that we sew harmonicas into these guys' shirts? LOL
Phil, Wally, you guys rule.

I dig this so much I love chord harmonica, one of the best way to keep the muscles in your arms ;-)
